(C) The equation of the tangent to the circle $x^2+y^2-4x+2y-5=0$ at $(3,-4)$ is given by $xx_1+yy_1-2(x+x_1)+1(y+y_1)-5=0$.Substituting $(x_1, y_1) = (3,-4)$,we get $3x-4y-2(x+3)+1(y-4)-5=0$,which simplifies to $x-3y-15=0$.Let the midpoint of the chord $AB$ of the circle $x^2+y^2+16x+2y+10=0$ be $(h,k)$.The equation of the chord with midpoint $(h,k)$ is $T=S_1$,i.e.,$xh+yk+8(x+h)+1(y+k)+10 = h^2+k^2+16h+2k+10$.This simplifies to $x(h+8)+y(k+1) = h^2+k^2+8h+k$.Since this is the same line as $x-3y-15=0$,we compare the coefficients:$\frac{h+8}{1} = \frac{k+1}{-3} = \frac{h^2+k^2+8h+k}{15} = \lambda$.From $\frac{h+8}{1} = \lambda$,we get $h = \lambda-8$.From $\frac{k+1}{-3} = \lambda$,we get $k = -3\lambda-1$.Substituting these into the third ratio: $15\lambda = (\lambda-8)^2 + (-3\lambda-1)^2 + 8(\lambda-8) + (-3\lambda-1)$.$15\lambda = \lambda^2-16\lambda+64 + 9\lambda^2+6\lambda+1 + 8\lambda-64 - 3\lambda-1$.$15\lambda = 10\lambda^2 - 4\lambda$.$10\lambda^2 - 19\lambda = 0$,so $\lambda = 1.9$ or $\lambda = 0$.For $\lambda = 1.9$,$(h,k) = (-6.1, -6.7)$ (not in options).For $\lambda = 0$,$(h,k) = (-8, -1)$ (not in options).Re-evaluating the tangent: $x-3y-15=0$. The midpoint $(h,k)$ must satisfy $h-3k-15=0$. Checking options: $(-6, -7) \implies -6 - 3(-7) - 15 = -6+21-15 = 0$. Thus,$(-6,-7)$ is the correct midpoint.

If the tangent to the circle $x^2+y^2-4x+2y-5=0$ at $(3,-4)$ cuts the circle $x^2+y^2+16x+2y+10=0$ at $A$ and $B$,then the midpoint of $AB$ is:
